INSTALLATION

Warning icon WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.

Before the installation

Before you install the hob, write down the information below from the rating plate. The rating plate is on the bottom of the hob.
Serial number ………………………

Built-in hobs

Only use the built-in hobs after you assemble the hob into correct built-in units and work surfaces that align to the standards.

Connection cable
  • The hob is supplied with a connection cable.
  • To replace the damaged main cable, use the cable: H05BB-F or H03V2V2-F which withstands a temperature of 90 °C or higher. Contact an Authorised Service Centre. The connection cable may only be replaced by a qualified electrician.
Attaching the seal – On-top installation
  1. Clean the worktop around the cutout area.
  2. Attach the supplied 2x6mm seal stripe to the lower edge of the hob, along the outer edge of the glass-ceramic. Do not stretch it. Make sure that the ends of the seal stripe are located in the middle of one side of the hob.
  3. Add some millimeters to the length when you cut the seal stripe.
  4. Join the two ends of the seal stripe together.

Distance: from the wall minimum of 50 mm
Length: 490 mm
Width: the sum of all widths of appliances that you install minus 20 mm
Example: AEG IKE42640KB Hob cooking - Fig 2

Assembly

  • Calculate correct cutout dimensions.
  • Prepare the worktop cutout.
  • Place the appliances on a soft surface (e.g. a blanket) with the bottom side up.
  • In the case of the Teppan Yaki, attach the supplied seal stripe to its lower edge, along the outer edge of the glass-ceramic. Loosely screw the fixing plates into the correct holes in the protective casing.
  • Insert the first appliance into the worktop cutout. Mount the connection bar under the appliance so that half of its width is still visible – it will support the next appliance. AEG IKE42640KB Hob cooking - Fig 3
  • For the Teppan Yaki, loosely screw in the fixing plates to the worktop from below (at the front and the rear of the appliance). AEG IKE42640KB Hob cooking - Fig 4
  • Insert the next appliance into the worktop cutout. Make sure that the front edges of the appliances are on the same level. AEG IKE42640KB Hob cooking - Fig 5
  • Fix appliances other than Teppan Yaki with the use of snap-in springs.
  • In the end, tighten the screws of the Teppan Yaki. AEG IKE42640KB Hob cooking - Fig 6
  • Use silicone to seal the gaps between the appliances and those between the appliances and the worktop.
  • Press the rubber shape firmly against the glass-ceramic and move it slowly along the edges to squeeze out excess silicone.
  • Put some soapy water on the silicone and smoothen out the edges with your finger.
  • Do not touch the silicone until it hardens, it can last for about a day.
  • Carefully remove the silicone squeeze-out with a shaving razor.
  • Clean the glass surface.

Using the cooking zone

Warning icon CAUTION!
Do not place hot cookware on the control panel. There is a risk of damage to the electronic parts. AEG IKE42640KB Hob cooking - Fig 9Place the cookware in the center of the selected zone.
Induction cooking zones adapt to the dimension of the bottom of the cookware automatically.
When you place the cookware in the correct position, the hob recognizes it and the appropriate control bar comes on. A red cooking zone indicator appears above the control bar and indicates the position of the pot.
Each square on the control panel represents one cooking zone on the induction cooking surface. Zone indicators show which cooking zone is controlled by the appropriate control bar.

Heat setting

Touch the control bar at the desired heat setting or move your finger along the control bar to set or change the heat setting for a cooking zone. AEG IKE42640KB Hob cooking - Fig 10Once you place a pot on the cooking zone and set the heat setting, it remains the same for 2 minutes after you remove the pot. The control bar and the cooking zone indicator blink for 2 minutes. If you place the pot on the cooking zone again within this time, the heat setting reactivates. Otherwise, the cooking zone deactivates.

OptiHeat Control (3-step Residual heat indicator)

Warning icon WARNING!
AEG IKE42640KB Hob cooking - Icon 12 As long as the indicator is on, there is a risk of burns from residual heat.

Power management

If multiple zones are active and the consumed power exceeds the limitation of the power supply, this function divides the available power between all cooking zones.
The hob controls heat settings to protect the fuses of the house installation.

  • If the hob reaches the limit of maximum available power (refer to the rating plate), the power of the cooking zones will be automatically reduced.
  • For cooking zones that have reduced power, the control panel shows the maximum possible heat settings.
  • If a higher heat setting is not available reduce it for the other cooking zones first.
  • The activation of the function depends on the number and size of pots.

HINTS AND TIPS

Warning iconWARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.

Cookware

instructions For induction cooking zones a strong electro-magnetic field creates the heat in the cookware very quickly.
Use the induction cooking zones with suitable cookware.

  • The bottom of the cookware must be as thick and flat as possible.
  • Ensure pan bases are clean and dry before placing them on the hob surface.
  • In order to avoid scratches, do not slide or rub the pot across the ceramic glass.

Cookware material

  • correct: cast iron, steel, enameled steel, stainless steel, multi-layer bottom (with a correct marking from a manufacturer).
  • not correct: aluminum, copper, brass, glass, ceramic, porcelain.

Cookware is suitable for an induction hob if:

  • water boils very quickly on a zone set to the highest heat setting.
  • a magnet pulls onto the bottom of the cookware.

Cookware dimensions

  • Induction cooking zones adapt to the dimension of the bottom of the cookware automatically.
  • The cooking zone efficiency is related to the diameter of the cookware. The cookware with a diameter smaller than the minimum receives only a part of the power generated by the cooking zone.
  • For both safety reasons and optimal cooking results, do not use cookware larger than indicated in the “Cooking zones specification”. Avoid keeping cookware close to the control panel during the cooking session. This might impact the functioning of the control panel or accidentally activate hob functions.

instructions Refer to “Technical data”.

The noises during the operation

If you can hear:

  • crack noise: cookware is made of different materials (a sandwich construction).
  • whistle sound: you use a cooking zone with a high power level and the cookware is made of different materials (a sandwich construction).
  • humming: you use a high power level.
  • clicking: electric switching occurs.
  • hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.

The noises are normal and do not indicate any malfunction.

Öko Timer (Eco Timer)

To save energy, the heater of the cooking zone deactivates before the count-down timer sounds. The difference in the operation time depends on the heat setting level and the length of the cooking operation.

Examples of cooking applications

The correlation between the heat setting of a zone and its consumption of power is not linear. When you increase the heat setting, it is not proportional to the increase in the consumption of power. It means that a cooking zone with a medium heat setting uses less than half of its power.
instructions The data in the table is for guidance only.
